<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
The world is changing, and it's changing faster than we think.
How can we, as developers, continue to stay on top of our
profession? Programmers are going to have to move up the value
chain, and move up fast, if they are to keep their jobs in the
coming years. The recession isn't helping, as its effects are
masking significant underlying trends in the world of
programming.</p>
<p>
Join Andrew Hunt for a frank discussion entitled, "How to Keep Your Job."
